History

Palestine is a small village located in eastern Ohio, United States. It was founded in 1806 by a group of settlers from Pennsylvania, who named the town after the biblical land of Palestine.

During its early years, Palestine was a small agricultural community, with a number of farms and mills dotting the surrounding countryside. The town’s population slowly grew, and by the mid-1800s, it had become a small but thriving village, with a number of stores, churches, and schools.

In the late 1800s, Palestine became an important center for the production of oil and gas. A number of wells were drilled in the area, and the town experienced a period of rapid growth and prosperity. The population soared, and new businesses and industries sprang up to serve the needs of the growing community.

However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. By the early 1900s, the oil and gas boom had come to an end, and the town’s population and economy began to decline. Today, Palestine is a small, quiet village, with a population of just over 300 people. Despite the small size, however, it has a rich history and a strong sense of community pride.
